Default Divide by the minimum non-zero number in a range of cells

If you don't want an array formula

Assuming there will always be at least 1 non-zero cell and there's no text
in the range:

=MIN(INDEX(((A1:A7<0)*A1:A7)+((A1:A7=0)*1E+100),, 1))

Hi,

If you don't want an array formula try this

=SUMPRODUCT((A1:A7<0)*(MIN(A1:A7)=A1:A7)*A1:A7)

If this helps, please click the Yes button.

I need to find the minimum non-zero number in a range of cells that
contains
some zeroes. So that I can divide by the minimum number. Any ideas?

If I just use the MIN function, it returns a value of 0, then when my
formula divides by that I get the divide by zero error.
